Forsythia

Early spring color in a beautiful, worry-free package.

The bright yellow prolific bloom of the Forsythia is one of the earliest signs of spring for many. Some varieties have a mind of their own and can get quite unruly, but these varieties have something for everyone. From the ultra-compact Show Off Sugar Baby Dwarf Forsythia with its 1 to 3 foot height range, to the Show Off Forsythia that proudly boasts a mature height of 5 to 6 feet, you’re all but guaranteed worry-free beauty.

Forsythia will do best in the full sun of zones 4 – 8. It can be grown successfully in zone 9 with partial shade. Its upright growth habit means that you won’t spend your days pruning to keep it beautiful.
